Learn more about the map styles

Each map type offers different information and each map style is designed for a different purpose. Read about the styles and map projection used in the above map (Detailed Satellite Map of Philippines).

Google satellite map provides more details than Maphill's own maps of Philippines can offer. We call this map satellite, however more correct term would be the aerial, as the maps are primarily based on aerial photography taken by plain airplanes.

These planes fly with specially equipped cameras and take vertical photos of the landscape. Captured images have to be georectified, and it is also necessary to remove distortion caused by the plane tilt and the elevation differences on the ground. The photography used in the maps is usually three to four years old.

This map of Philippines is provided by Google Maps, whose primary purpose is to provide local street maps rather than a planetary view of the Earth. Within the context of local street searches, angles and compass directions are very important, as well as ensuring that distances in all directions are shown at the same scale.

The Mercator projection was developed as a sea travel navigation tool. It preserves angles. If you wish to go from Philippines to anywhere on the map, all you have to do is draw a line between the two points and measure the angle. If you head this compass direction, and keep going, you will reach your destination.
